There are about 7997 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in Japan. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic disease of unknown cause that results in scarring of the lung and there is a high unmet medical need for effective treatment to halt lung function decline, delay or avoid exacerbation (flare-ups), and ultimately to reduce the death rate. In a large Phase 2 trial (1199.30) (NCT00514683), investigating the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with BIBF 1120 in patients with IPF, a positive effect was seen on lung function of patients treated with high dose of BIBF 1120 compared to placebo. Hence it is the purpose of this trial to investigate and confirm the efficacy and safety of BIBF 1120 at a high dose in treating patients with IPF, compared with placebo. The trial will be conducted as a prospective, randomised design with the aim to collect safety and efficacy data. Respiratory function is globally accepted for assessment of treatment effects in IPF patients. The chosen endpoint (Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) decline) is easy to obtain and is part of the usual examinations done in IPF patients.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of AZD5213 in healthy young and elderly Japanese subjects
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of KAD-1229 as combination therapy with biguanide or DPP-4 inhibitor in type 2 diabetes patients who show inadequate glycemic control with diet, and biguanide or DPP-4 inhibitor monotherapy.
This trial is conducted in Africa, Asia, Europe, Japan and North America. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy, including pharmacokinetics (the rate at which the body eliminates the trial drug), of NNC-0156-0000-0009 (nonacog beta pegol) when used for treatment and prophylaxis of bleeding episodes in patients with haemophilia B.
This open-label, randomized study will assess the efficacy and safety of obinutuzumab (RO5072759) in combination with chemotherapy compared to rituximab (MabThera/Rituxan) with chemotherapy followed by obinutuzumab or rituximab maintenance in participants with untreated advanced indolent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. After the end of the induction period, participants achieving response (Complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) will undergo a maintenance period continuing on the randomized antibody treatment alone every 2 months until disease progression for a total of 2 years. Anticipated time on study treatment is up to approximately 2.5 years. After maintenance or observation, participants will be followed for 5 years until progression. After progression, participants will be followed for new anti-lymphoma therapy and overall survival until the end of the study.
To investigate possible problems or questions in safety and effectiveness of salmeterol and fluticasone in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (bronchitis chronic / emphysema). In this special drug use investigation, onset of pneumonia shall be handled as the priority investigation item.
To determine the efficacy of intravitreally (IVT) administered VEGF Trap-Eye on the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) assessed by the early treatment diabetic retinopathy study (ETDRS) chart in subjects with diabetic macular edema (DME) with central involvement
This exploratory study is a proof of concept study to determine whether LCI699 can safely reduce the level of urinary free cortisol in patients with Cushing's disease. In addition, this study evaluated the long term efficacy and safety of LCI699 including an additional 12 week of treatment followed by a 12 month long term optional extension. A second extension provided patients who were clinically benefitting from LCI699 an opportunity to continue to have access to the drug until LCI699 was commercially available and reimbursed or through the availability of a local access program.
The objective of this trial is to collect evidence for the safety and efficacy of 24 weeks of treatment with BI 201335 240 mg in combination with 24 or 48 weeks of Pegylated Interferon (PegIFN) and ribavirin (RBV) in treatment experienced patients who have been withdrawn from PegIFN and RBV treatment due to lack of efficacy in the 1220.7, 1220.30 and 1220.47 trials.
To evaluate the effects of early administration of probiotics on acceleration of enteral feeding, and on growth of very low birth weight infants, newborn infants with birth weight less than 1500g are administered Bifidobacterium bifidum twice a day.
